I am glad to see we are about to have a print copy available. I am running the FoG world championship at Cancon in late January using v2 rules and it looks like the books will arrive just in time.

Hi folks.

The FoG world championship at Cancon will use version 2 of the rules.

Hope to see you there!

Ross Dawe.

Hi folks. I am happy to report that plenty of entries have been coming in for the FoG:Ancients and Medieval world championship at Cancon, including half a dozen overseas players signed up so far. A reminder for players to register soon if you want your souvenir world championship polo shirt. Note th...

Hi folks. The Australian national championships for FoG ancients and FoG renaissance will be held at Cancon on Friday 27 to Sunday 29 January. Full details for both tournaments can be found in the Cancon 2012 online entry page at the Canberra Games Society website: http://www.cgs.asn.au/index.php/ca...

Thank you!

I'm using mostly Eureka Miniatures and they should fit four to a base if I echelon them. As these bases will be used in two ranks, I will try action poses for the front bases and more relaxed poses plus atl-atl figures for the second rank of bases.

Rossco.

Hi folks. I am currently painting a 28mm Aztec army and I would appreciate some good advice on basing the figures. I have a variety of novice troops armed with obsidian-studded clubs, spears and atl-atls. Do I mix them together on the same base, or are the spearmen, hand weapons, and atl-atl figures...

Hi folks. The Field of Glory Australian National Championship will be held at Cancon on 23 to 25 January 2010. Location: Exhibition Park In Canberra (aka EPIC), Flemington Road, Mitchell ACT. There will be separate championships for 15mm and 25mm. The 15mm championship is 800 points. The 25mm champi...

Update.

Posters on the Oz_FoG Yahoo! list have talked me into making the Cancon FoG tournament 800 points instead of 725 points.

I will post the full details here once they have been finalised.

Ross Dawe.

Hi folks. (I've edited this post so it contains the official details.) There will be a Field of Glory tournament at Cancon 2009. Dates: 24, 25 and 26 January 2009 in Canberra, Australia. Usual venue. Army choice: one list of 800 points, drawn from any FoG book of army lists published prior to 1 Dece...

When you arrive in Adelaide, please look up the Group North Historical Wargames Society. We play FoG quite a lot nowadays.

Hi folks. Would a club tournament run as a round robin format spread out over a few months count for the FoG rankings? Here at Group North Historical Wargames Society in South Australia we use round robin tournaments with games played on club meeting nights, rather than hold weekend tournaments. Wou...

Lawrence has noted some of my newbie mistakes.

Here is another one: a general with a BG only raises its quality for close combat. The general does not raise the BG quality in other phases such as shooting or in the joint action phase.

Hi folks. The other evening I tried a doubles game of FoG, with one of the players on each side being a junior (one 13, the other 10). Both kids enjoyed the game and found the basic mechanisms relatively straight forward to learn. The other adult player was new to FoG and was delighted to see his Ne...

Hi, I'm one of the recent wave of people who have a beta copy of FoG from preordering the rules. I have beta version 6.00 dated 19/11/07. My initial impression of FoG is overall quite favourable. The rule book seems to be clearly written, as I have been able to find things fairly quickly via the Glo...

My favourite armies: Romans all the way through kingdom, republic and empire. I also have plenty of armies as historical opponents for them: Etrurians, Carthaginians, Celts, Spanish, Parthian, Later Successors. T'ang Chinese + their enemies. Hundred Years War English and French, plus Wars of the Ros...

Many of us Australians aren't limited to small tables either.

I agree that for 25mm figures, using 1 MU = 40mm would be better. That would allow the game to scale up properly for those of us who sometimes like to play with the 'big figures'.
